Mukesh Ambani flew from Mumbai (VABB) to Delhi (VIDP) on June 7, 2026, aboard his Boeing 737 MAX 9 BBJ VT-AKV — a quick 1-hour-39-minute dash north. The aircraft, India's first MAX 9 BBJ, touched down at Indira Gandhi International Airport at 10:33 UTC.

The same week, Delhi is the stage for critical discussions on India's digital infrastructure and energy security, areas where Reliance Industries holds enormous stakes. While no public schedule was released, Ambani's presence in the capital often aligns with government consultations or board-level reviews of the conglomerate's telecom and refining arms.

The trip follows a flurry of domestic movements in early June, including multiple flights to Gujarat, a state central to Reliance's petrochemical and data-center operations. These short-haul shuttles underscore Ambani's reputation for direct oversight — a pattern consistent with his track record of hands-on management.
